Best Chef Poems

Though I ain't a cordon bleu chef as the title might imply,
I can still whip up gourmet fare in the blink of an eye!
And to an oven or a fryin' pan I need not be a slave,
As long I can open cans and boxes and...

If he were my Dad, he would be the best.
A distinguished Chef that taught me to cook.
An ever loving Heart, beats in his chest.
His spare time , he writes a Poetry book.
When its done; as a Poetry Family; We should all take a look.

I have...

The special today,
is Tom's Stew,
more than enough,
for all of you.
Homemade bread,
with garlic, and chives,
real butter without calories,
dripping from the sides.
Strawberry Shortcake,
heaping with cream,
fresh from scratch,
right out of a dream.
Eat all you want,
get happy, and stuffed,
take some with you,
he insist you have enough.
Open all night,
his lights...

Back when he was seven, our son won a contest
   In his class, his turkey recipe adjudged the best
He was so happy, floating so high on cloud nine
   but first prize was something less than 'quite fine'

He had to follow his...

The angry learner chef
A discerning  chap
Leers at how he's going to cook 
That special meal he likes 
In which pot shall he make his Asian delight
No one goes near
When he's about to take a turn
Stay calm little chef!
It's only an onion
It won't make you...

You ‘died’
You LIED
I live with my conscious
You live with yours!

You ‘died’
You LIED
I live with my heart
You died with yours!

You ‘died’
You LIED
My heart BEATS with love
You beat with fists

You ‘died’
You deceived the living
I dance with butterflies and rainbows
You drowned in booze long ago

You ‘died’
Along with selfish...

Me, I love to cook.
It makes me feel good.
I share my own skill.
Each time that I do.
It gives me such joy. 

It may sound odd.
I try each time.
To cook for you.
Fills me with hope.

I do try.
When I do.
To give all.

Make it.
One thing

Being the little sister in a family with mostly boys
Was very hard and difficult liking all their toys
I loved to play in the dirt , could throw any ball
Played "running bases", "tag", and loved "off the wall"

My sister was way older and she was never...

They've named a new dish of pasta and noodles
After my wannabe chef, makes dough by the oodles
They call it “la scotta”
To try it ya oughtta
Puts hair on your chest and makes you bug out your pupils!!!

(Commentary on a husband and wife relationship)

No one sees me, I’m in the back.
Cutting up the food for this evening’s snack.
Working my ass off every single day.
Then end up here, with not a dimes pay.

Every night’s the same, never any help.
Everybody wants to eat, at...

Too late it’s cold now....

There once was a bad chef called Phyl
His cooking made customers ill
It sure was the pits
They all got the squits
So none of them would pay their bill

Advice to the new hire ...


I heard tell, it's been said
that to make an omelet,
you have to break a few eggs

I regret I had to break a few,
I regret I'm gonna break a few more too

I'm a spiritual chef,
I serve food for the soul
I keep...

i am a pastry chef
the constant baker my lot in life
i have shelves filled with life's spices
grains from many different fields
my ovens are in constant heat
doors begging to be opened
that feed the outer shop
where the world may peruse, purchase 
if it so cares
but on that...
